A primary school animation competition, judged by the Mayor and Mayoress of Charnwood, ended after weeks of hard work.

Our Lady’s Convent School launched the animation competition between primary schools in the area earlier in the year.

The challenge was for year 5 pupils to create a short animation that explained the meaning of “British values”.

The Mayor and Mayoress of Charnwood, Councillor David Gaskell and Jan Gaskell, and two other judges found the quality of work so high that a joint runners-up position was awarded to two teams from Loughborugh C of E Primary School with Plumtree School pupils, Jonty and Harrison, being named the overall winners.

Our Lady’s Convent School ICT teacher, Jo Wakefield, said, “These children are the computer programmers and designers of the future and, from what we have seen of their creativity and understanding of basic coding, they have skills which they can now develop and grow for the future.”
